OU (Orthodox Union) Kosher is the world’s largest and most widely recognized Kosher certification agency, certifying more than 500,000 products produced in over 6,000 plants located in 90 countries around the world. For over 80 years, the Orthodox Union has set the bar for the highest standards of kosher certification. The OU, termed a “coveted seal of approval” by The New York Times, is one of the world’s best-known trademarks. The quality of products showing the OU symbol is immediately and universally recognized by consumers. All products bearing the OU symbol have passed inspection and meet high quality standards. Certified plants are inspected regularly by Rabbinic representatives to ensure the Kosher program is running smoothly and effectively.
